The word ‘conveyancing’ stems from the Old French convoier and Latin conviare, meaning ‘to escort’ or ‘accompany’. John Caruso discovers a local firm who fulfill all aspects of its modern-day interpretation. A company that escorts and guides buyers and sellers along the path to property settlement.
Buying a home is an emotional journey. We fall in love with ocean views, timber decks, and sunlit living rooms. But beyond the excitement, purchasing property is a major financial commitment. That’s why expert guidance from a trusted conveyancing firm is essential to navigate the process, ensure every legal detail is covered, and to protect your interests. Jess Avenell, Senior Conveyancer at Coast to Coast Conveyancing, understands this balance. With over a decade of experience and deep roots in the Sunshine Coast community, Jess and the team provide buyers and sellers with the support they need to secure their dream home with confidence.
“Buying or selling a home can be overwhelming,” says Jess. “There’s a lot at stake, and most people don’t deal with property transactions every day.
“That’s why having a conveyancer who is available, responsive, and experienced makes all the difference.”
In a competitive property market, the choice of conveyancer is crucial. It’s not just about legalities, it’s about having a team that understands contracts, negotiations, and legislative changes while offering practical advice every step of the way. Buyers often face unexpected challenges, like issues uncovered during a building and pest inspection. This is where Coast to Coast Conveyancing plays a critical role.
“Almost every purchase has a hurdle,” Jess explains. “It’s rare for everything to go perfectly from start to finish, and that’s okay.
“What’s important is knowing your options and acting quickly.”
Coast to Coast also offers a free contract review service before signing, helping clients spot potential issues early.
“That allows clients to have all the facts before making a commitment,” she says. “It gives people peace of mind.”
Beyond expertise, Coast to Coast Conveyancing is deeply committed to the local community, actively supporting charitable initiatives and giving back to the region.
“We sponsor Inclusive Kids and work with Waves of Kindness, a Noosaville-based charity supporting families in need,” says Jess. “At Christmas, we organised a hamper drive, and we’re planning another fundraiser this year.
“It’s important for us to contribute to the community that supports us.”
Local knowledge is another major advantage.
“We understand the quirks of different areas, flood zones, council restrictions, body corporate complexities, all of this helps us guide and inform our clients,” she adds.
Coast to Coast Conveyancing offers fixed-fee pricing, ensuring clients aren’t hit with unexpected costs.
“Our fees are transparent from the beginning of the process and include basic searches such as rates, water and land tax clearance search, as well as a copy of the registered plan and all professional fees,” Jess explains.
And the best part?
“Everything is payable at settlement, so there are no upfront expenses,” she shares.
At its core, Coast to Coast Conveyancing protects one of life’s biggest investments while making the process seamless. And it’s also about helping buyers and sellers make informed, confident decisions.
“There’s always an emotional element to buying a home. People invest their savings, their dreams, their future,” says Jess. “It’s our job to guide them through that, help them navigate challenges, and ensure they walk away happy and secure in their purchase.”
On the Sunshine Coast, where property dreams start with the heart, it’s good to have experts who help keep a level head. Bringing meaning to the name, Coast to Coast Conveyancing also operate two conveyancing offices in Victoria and have a separate law firm, Patten Robbins which can provide litigation and commercial lawyers if anything happens outside of the box.
“This provides extra firepower and depth to our offer and strengthens confidence with our customers that we can assist with any potential issues that arise,” Jess says.
With Coast to Coast Conveyancing, buyers and sellers can move forward with confidence, knowing their biggest asset is in safe hands.
